The annual grand running event—the Taipei Marathon.
This long-standing run, with a distance of about 42.195km, not only gets grander every year, the number of participants constantly hits new heights, having already broken the mark of 100,000 energetic runners. Not only do Taiwanese runners enthusiastically respond to the call, the non-running Taiwanese public are also enthusiasts, and every year a large contingent of foreign athletes cross the waters to take up the challenge as well. The race has become an urban marathon that has attracted international attention. This great marathon carnival not only fosters a healthy atmosphere for the entire population, it also symbolizes the enthusiastic vitality and glamor of Taipei City!
It’s a hot destination not to be missed at year’s end when you pay a visit to Xinyi District. Give yourself a challenge and don’t waste any time in joining the ranks of the runners!
The race has several categories: Marathon (42.195km), Half-marathon (21km), 9km Run, Fun Run (3km) and the Children’s Run (2km). Everyone can join the fun!
